Teva spending guidelines - Patient Education 

All budgets are closely reviewed to ensure spend is appropriate and justifiable.  When reviewing meeting costs, we recognize the differences from city to city, however, a general guideline for hotel stays is $250/per night (including tax and tip). Hotel rates and venues will be reviewed with the understanding that they vary depending on the city and venue and a brief justification may be required for higher rates and/or locations.

 

Patient education programs are not accredited like education programs for Healthcare Providers.  Because of this, any Teva grant funds used to pay a Healthcare Provider for a patient education program must be reported back to Teva.  This is mandated by the Federal Government. Please refer to the FAQ for Open Payments for exact instructions.  Payments to a Healthcare Provider include honoraria and any reimbursements for items such as hotel, travel, transportation, etc.
